3rd PROFOUND

Report from the 3rd PROFOUND spring school on model calibration and the subsequent WG3 meeting in Grenoble, France

A big thanks to all participants / lecturers of our 2017 PROFOUND spring school on Bayesian calibration, forecasting and multi-model predictions of process-based vegetation models, and the subsequent WG3 meeting on the same topic. The aim of the spring school was, as ever, to teach Bayesian methods for the calibration of process-based models.

TG8 Meeting

Report from TG8 Meeting in Leipzig

From April 27th-28th, 2017 the members of the PROFOUND task group 8 met in Leipzig, Germany. They discussed the state of the art of individual-based forest models, perspectives in the future and how the visibility of these models can be increased in the ecological community.
